This comes after the billboard which was spotted along the busy Area One axis of the Federal Capital Territory sparked several reactions on social media.
The billboard boldly hints at Tinubu’s potential re-election bid.
The billboard, which has the picture of the President and his wife, Remi Tinubu read, “Grassroots support for Tinubu 2027, the 1019 initiative “
Tinubu, who is in the second year of his four-year tenure, has not openly spoken about a re-election ambition.
Reacting, the National Publicity Director of the ruling APC, Ibrahim, said the party was unaware of the campaign billboard. He, however, did not rule out the possibility of such a billboard being sponsored by groups or loyalists of the President.
He said, “At the party and personal level, I am not aware. If you have seen it, you may wish to check. It could have been done by a group or individuals.
“Usually, such banners and billboards carry the identity of the sponsors beneath. Look around to see if it carries the inscription of the party. Otherwise, it is not from us,” he said.
Since his emergence 16 months ago, President Tinubu’s tenure has brought a mix of experiences for Nigerians, particularly following the removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the nation’s currency.
The policies have been associated with widespread economic hardship, leading to public discontent.
The frustration culminated in the #End Hunger or #End Bad Governance protests, which took place across the country from August 1 to 10.
